What permits are required for filling sulfuric acid?
Thread Content
Our company currently produces sulfuric acid with a concentration of 98%, and we need to outsource this process. What certificates are required for the personnel responsible for filling the containers? We already have a certificate for filling mobile pressure vessels as well as a certificate for personnel working with chemicals
Do I still need to get a permit? I don’t know; the sulfuric acid I use was brought in by someone else. Not clear!
There’s no requirement for this, right? In the past, when the company produced sulfuric acid, the vehicles would be parked, and the pipes would be directly connected to the flanges of the tank trucks; then pumps were used to transfer the liquid. The operators were just ordinary employees, and the safety supervision agency has never required any permits for this process~~
A vehicle used for transporting sulfuric acid does not qualify as a mobile pressure vessel, so a license for operating mobile pressure vessels is not required. If the device you are filling contains pressure vessels or pressure pipelines, a corresponding operation license is required
In the past, when the company produced sulfuric acid, the vehicles would be parked, the pipes would be connected directly to the flanges of the tank trucks, and pumps would be used to transfer the substance into them. The operators were ordinary employees; given that sulfuric acid is such a dangerous substance, certification is definitely required
I have arranged to take the exam for a certification to fill mobile pressure vessels
Is a sulfuric acid container a pressure vessel? ? ? Are you referring to filling with liquefied sulfur dioxide gas? ? Sulfuric acid containers do not require any permits.
It’s 98% sulfuric acid. . .
Incompatibility with filling mobile pressure vessels
The tank is a pressure vessel; the workers have operation permits, as well as permits for the production, transportation, and sale of sulfuric acid
Operators shouldn’t need any special permits, right? However, sulfuric acid is considered a drug precursor, and its production, sale, and transportation all require permits
